Missing: One Nursery Inhabitant
With approximately 2-5 weeks to go, we finally have our nursery all put together and ready for action. All we’re missing is one Beckett Brooks to occupy this new space. My mom spent a few days here helping me run around town to make all the final purchases for the nursery, and it finally all came together. It still hasn’t seemed real that I’m about to have a baby…even during the showers, setting up the nursery, etc. It wasn’t until I started packing my diaper bag and Taylor’s manly backpack (that happens to have diapers in it) that it hit me.

Pregnancy 101: Symptoms There are so many things people don’t tell you about being pregnant. Sure, you hear about cravings and back aches, but I guarantee you haven’t heard of the million little ways carrying a baby blows up your body. Brenna the Schartz came to visit one day and we attempted to compile a list of random stuff that I want to document for future reference, if for no other reason than to laugh. If this were a “women’s only” channel, it would be much more exciting, but you can just ask me for the juicy details in person. General lack of oxygen Overall discomfort while sitting, standing, or…
